BAKING PAN.

V To all whom t may' concern.'

Be it known that I, JOSEPH GEORGE JACK- soN, 4a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, yin .the county of Cook. andState ofIllinois, have invented' certain new and useful Improvements'in Baking Pans, of which thefollowing 'is a specification. l

My invention relates to bake pan sets and has for one of its objects the .provision of' a simple `and eflicient means for securelyA `in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which, Fig. 1 is a perspective view'of a bake pan set embodying my invention,

Fig. 2 is an end viewvor` the same, Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmental section taken throughan end panof the set,

Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmental plan view. of the connection between two individual pans, and j Figs. 5 and 6 are sections'taken on line .'5-5 and 6-6 respectively of Fig. 4.

lReferring' more particularly to thedraW-, ing, I have indicated a pan set as being made` up of' two individual pans 5, but it will be understood that any numberof'pans desired may be formed into a' set by making the l frame of proper size and strength.

` struction.

The pans-.5 maybe of any desired con Thejform I have illustrated is the usual structure in -which the sheet metal ofthe pan is turned around a wire 6 to form a rim 7.. -h

. i In order to forira -bake pa'n'iset of two or more pans rigidly connected together, I have provided a strong wire frame located under the rims 7 as indicated at 8 in the drawings. The wire frame 8 may consist of a coni. tinuouslength with its ends adjacent each other, as indicated at 9 in Fig, 2. Such a continuous length of wire may beb'ent in an obvious. mannerI telit under the rims 7, as

.shown in Fig. 1. f

On the exterior end surfaces of th'e remote i sidesv of 'the end ,pans I provide plates of sheet material 10 having lupper curved por- 1920.l serial No. 371,224.

tions 11 disposed around the rod 8, asshown in Figs. 2 and 3. This sheet material holder 10 for the rod 8 may be secured to the pans 5 in any desired manner such as by meansk of rivets, as indicated at 12. H

The separators 13 are located between the pans, as shown in Fig. 1,`and secured there to, as shown in Fig. 5. It should be understood that when vmore than two pans are se cured together in a set, there are two separators 13 in the space between each adjacent pair of pans. These separators 13 are substantially alike and the description of one will suflice for all. Each separator 13 has a substantially flat portion 14, as shown in Fig. 5, with its longitudinal edges 15 turned in around the Wire 6 of the two adjacent pans under .the pan wallmaterial of therim?. f n v The separators 13 are substantially T- shaped, the stem portion being they flat part 14. The head portion ofthe T is curved so as `to beS-sha ed in cross-section, as shown in Fig. 6. turned around the rod 8 and the other longitudinaledge 17 is turned in around the .wire

' ,ne longitudinal edge 16 is' 6A under the pan material of the rim 7. It

should be` understood that the T-shaped exboth of the rims of thek adjacent pans as well as. to the rod 8. With this construction Veach tensionof the separator is thus secured to and ends of the adj acent corners of the pans 5 and is also secured to the frame bars 8 so that the -`adjacentcorners of the pans are rigidly secured together andvto the frame bars 8. The" pans are thus maintained in spaced relation by providing a space 18`between the pans for the circulation of heated air to assure even baking of the material in the pans, but it should be particularly noted that by extending the separators 13 and securing them to the ends of the pans, as well. as to the rod 8, such separators assist materially in holding thefrarne rod 8 in proper lpositionand said separators cooperate with the rod to secure a rigid bake pan set. In view of this construction it will be seen that the rods 8 may extend iii-both directions :from the separator 13-along the ends of the pans under the rim 7 and the ends of the rods 8 secured to the .pans in any desired manner. For instance, instead of having a' bent so as to t into the opening in the curved portion 1l of the holders 10.

Obviously those skilled in the art may make various changes in the details and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention as defined by the claims hereto appended. I wish, therefore, not to be restricted to the precise construction herein disclosed.

What l claim and desire to have secured b'y Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is:
